I imagine you can do 50x faster ABM just by tuning, writing in a compiled language, owning the low level library routines that do the work etc.

I mean, most ABM is probably sub-optimally implemented. There must be lots of “leading” software that squanders the resources it is given to run on.

So, just implement with some mechanical sympathy and you get order of magnitudes improvement.
